I don't think you understand how much of a competitive advantage that "slightly different mix of hormones" is. Basically though natural Female athletes may as well not even bother turning up because they would stand zero chance of beating someone who has that advantage in something like running, it's not a close thing that can be overcome, they can not win and it makes the entire category a joke.
Yes, they should strictly be in bikini's only.
Did you even read the quote?
I'll post it again:
It says no word OR consultation.
They only became "informed" after they went to the school website and stumbled upon the piece of information. You think I think they haven't still been informed lol?
But what has semantics got to do with the point here?

That's assuming that the trans person is capable of beating a female professional athlete in the first place. Basically this is only going to become an issue in two sets of circumstances:
1) A professional male athlete chooses to transition.
2) A young person chooses to transition and then dedicates themselves to becoming a pro athlete and manages to make it (long shot).
To be clear I don't really have a stance on this as I'm split down the middle but it's still worth noting that instances where it's truly a problem are likely to be limited.

OK, but there is quite a significant difference between one or two people trying it on, and enough people doing it to utterly wipe out the entire field of women's sports.
What's with the non-sequitur arguments? That's the second one from you which I've noticed.
The fact is a real woman can be stronger than a real man. Another fact is that some real men are not as strong as other real men.
The fact that a male woman was weaker than a female woman in one event is completely and utterly meaningless. If a weak skinny man decides to become a woman doesn't mean he's guaranteed to be the strongest out of some females just because she was previously a man. The point is that it can be used as an unfair advantage.
I'd be willing to bet that genetic woman over the years has used a few things that give her a slight hormonal edge as well
True but then if you think about it, it wouldnt take many to cover the major sports to make it a problem e.g a couple of good sprinters and long distance, same for swimming etc etc.
Slippery slope, thin end of the wedge, end of western civilisation as we know it.
Or something like that anyway.

The way this thread has gone off on a tangent and has become a rant about trans people is pretty telling of why some GD members are so outraged at a non issue.
A school has decided to change uniform policy and tbh the policy isn't unreasonable either. The only reason why there is outrage is because of the mention of gender.

It's well documented that the fall of the Roman Empire can be traced to the rise of feminism in the culture and giving SJW's too much.
Wait a minute. Why is it so important to you that schoolgirls must wear trousers?
You're the one on the side of "MUST WEAR TROUSERS" everyone else is just saying people should be "allowed to wear skirts", so you're the one who needs to provide a rationale here.
I mean your earlier post proves that you are not thinking rationally.
I'm not the one saying anyone should wear anything. It's YOU who's saying/agreeing that girls must wear trousers but you're trying to twist it round using very low level psychological defence mechanisms.
It’s been the downfall of many cultures.
Umm... You do realise that sharia law isn't just going to be imposed overnight? You're not going to wake up one day with all women wearing full sharia veils. It's going to be done slowly. 40 schools at a time and one garment at a time. If we don't resist this crap at the first hint, we don't stand a chance.
It's classical Conservative vs Liberal viewpoints. No one is ranting about trans people, stop trying to turn a debate into personal attacks when it's nothing of the sort.

So there wasn't an unrelated rant about trans athletes in a thread that has nothing to do with trans athletes?
If you want to debate, debate the topic.
No, we're on the side of "It's up to the school to set uniform policy, and it's no big deal if they decide everyone should wear trousers". Nobody here, not one single post, has suggested, at any point, that all schools should ban skirts. Or even that more schools should ban skirts. Or even that any one particular school should ban skirts. Nobody.
